Dissolve yeast in milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add garlic pulp. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, salt, egg, and rosemary; beat with a mixer at medium speed until combined. Add 2 cups flour, and beat until smooth. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic; add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.

Place the dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Punch dough down. Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Divide each portion into 3 pieces, and shape each piece into a ball. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray; place 3 dough balls in each muffin cup. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

These sound - and look - wonderful. However, I'm lazy and the thought of kneading for 8 minutes isn't something I'd look forward to. Do you think the dough could be processed in a stand mixer (Kitchen Aid)?
